A princess dressed in dirty rags Pretty dresses on her back she never had Folks say she don't know right from wrong But to me her smile lights up the dawn
Oh lazy Susan Won't you come on home to me Lazy Susan Won't you keep my company Lazy Susan Won't you come on home with me Yeah
Her Daddy died when she was born Her Momma works the mill the whole day long But lazy Susan never worked to live She just sings her songs strummin' with her guitar pick
Oh lazy Susan Won't you sing your songs for me Lazy Susan Girl we could sing in harmony Lazy Susan Oh won't you come on home with me Well well well
Some day I'm gonna make her mine Gonna change her rags to silk Make her look like a lady refined I won't let 'em laugh at her no more Gonna make people look at her Like they never did before
Oh lazy Susan I know you wanna live there 'Cause you ain't been goin' nowhere I know your Momma and your Daddy both don't know Yeah
Oh
It may get late Girl 'cause you're moving slow But I know Real good lovin' Can rearrange your life And when we get it together girl You can be my wife Y'see I got this forty acres Down by the Johnson's creek I done bought me a brand new tractor And we can grow all the food we need I never done been, but we're goin' to Memphis City And you could buy colored dresses And make yourself look real pretty I can tell No you're not lazy The folks just don't know You like to take life real slow baby …Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
